Debian 6 upgrade to Wheezy then testing release require kernel upgrade?
I was doing a squeeze to wheezy upgrade. Then I got to testing. Each step with upgrade then dist-upgrade. I think I may over-upgraded.
Anyway. Now I cannot apt-get install anything.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.

With apt-get install -f
I get
(Reading database ... 154815 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../archives/udev_215-7_amd64.deb ...
Since release 198, udev requires support for the following features in
the running kernel:
- inotify(2) (CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER)
- signalfd(2) (CONFIG_SIGNALFD)
- accept4(2)
- open_by_handle_at(2) (CONFIG_FHANDLE)
- timerfd_create(2) (CONFIG_TIMERFD)
- epoll_create(2) (CONFIG_EPOLL)
Please upgrade your kernel before or while upgrading udev.
AT YOUR OWN RISK, you can force the installation of this version of udev
WHICH DOES NOT WORK WITH YOUR RUNNING KERNEL AND WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM
AT THE NEXT REBOOT by creating the /etc/udev/kernel-upgrade file.
There is always a safer way to upgrade, do not try this unless you
understand what you are doing!

I need to upgrade the kernel for this? Haven't I done so already with upgrade
and dist-upgrade
?
Or is it that I just need a reboot?
apt-get install -f
seem to do it for me.lsb_release -a
andcat /etc/apt/sources.list
